What Are Typical Home Insurance Premiums In Ontario?

This chart illustrates the average Renters and Homeowners Insurance premiums in Ontario and other provinces including Home Insurance in Peterborough. Renters insurance rates are typically lower than home owners premiums due to the nature of insurance: Renters insurance typically covers only the content of your rented property and sometimes liability. It does not cover the building itself since it is covered under the insurance property of the homeowner.

Overall consumers spend in Ontario less on Home Insurance than in Alberta and British Columbia. That is the case due to more stable natural conditions e.g. lack of strong seismic activity like British Columbia or flooding similar to Calgary. Nevertheless the recent years demonstrated that nature can be also unfriendly in Ontario including flooding and ice storm that strongly impacted among others the whole Greater Toronto Area and nearby cites and towns. These were very significant natural occurrences that impacted people’s homes and, as consequence, home insurance.

Important note about flooding risk – typically overland flooding (e.g. due to strong rains or raised water level in rivers) is not covered by home insurance. Thus emergency government program(s) would be the only way to somewhat compensate financial impact of the flooding. flooding can be caused not only through a strong rain and storm but also through melting snow.
